Description
What kind of wine it is
Ponson Champagne 1er Cru Extra Brut is a dry and elegant sparkling wine, a pure expression of the French terroir. This Premier Cru Champagne is crafted from a carefully curated blend that harmoniously combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour, enriched with golden highlights and supported by a fine perlage. On the nose, it offers a balanced bouquet, characterised by clear fruity notes and delicate floral hints. On the palate, the Extra Brut style translates into a pleasantly fresh, smooth and linear sip.
Where it comes from
The cuvée is born in the renowned Petite Montagne de Reims, a prime area in the heart of Champagne. The grapes come from estate-owned vineyards, expertly distributed across five villages. The vineyard management adopts a strict organic and sustainable approach, respecting the natural balance of the vines. This careful work ensures a wine with a solid structure, capable of evolving in the bottle and developing an ageing potential estimated between five and ten years.
How it is produced
Vinification strictly follows the steps of the Traditional Method, utilising prolonged bottle refermentation to create an elegant and persistent mousse. The addition of a limited dosage enhances the dry profile of the wine. The Ponson winery, run by the same family for five generations, oversees every production detail to highlight the selected blend. This constant care delivers a clear and satisfying sensory experience.
